Summary

Mike and May open the preview of this supporters’ midweek episode with a discussion of the Supreme Court decision allowing municipalities to deal with homeless encampments by bans on outdoor camping. Mike is all over the place on this one, finding something to like (and dislike) on all sides, while May believes that the majority got it right. Next, they consider the Court’s ruling in Moody v. NetChoice, involving efforts by Florida and Texas to regulate social media they believe is biased against conservatives. Mike has a big problem with any government viewpoint regulation while May thinks a case can be made that these services are monopolies and there is a reasonable state interest in promoting a diversity of opinion. They close with a discussion of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s policy blueprint for a conservative administration. Mike points out that the many big government conservative activist proposals are fundamentally un-conservative, a tension May also recognizes. They focus in particular on the proposal to give presidents more power to remove government officials from their positions, which many on the right feel is necessary to correct a longstanding liberal bias in the administrative state.
